Is this the mind of our ancient ancestors?

It’s been reported by the Washington Post that some words have essentially survived for about 15,000 years. Mark Pagel, who is an evolutionary theorist at the University of Reading in Great Britain, has pinpointed 23 of the world’s most ancient words which, he says, could have been understood by hunter-gatherers in the Caucasus at the end of the last Ice Age.

The words are called “cognates”; they are more or less the same in at least four languages. And, they are typically used regularly by an average speaker.
